CELIBATE/CHASTE

Believe it or not, you can be celibate without being chaste, and chaste without
being celibate. A celibate person is merely unmarried, usually (but not always)
because of a vow of celibacy. The traditional assumption is that such a person
is not having sex with anyone, which leads many to confuse the word with
“chaste,” denoting someone who does not have illicit sex. A woman could have
wild sex twice a day with her lawful husband and technically still be chaste,
though the word is more often used to imply a general abstemiousness from sex
and sexuality. You can always amuse your readers by misspelling the latter word
as “chased.”
